The rapid advancement of semantic web technologies, along with the
fact that they are at various levels of maturity, has left many practitioners
confused about the current state of these technologies. Focusing on the most
mature technologies,
Applied Semantic Web Technologies
integrates
theory with case studies to illustrate the history, current state, and future
direction of the semantic web. It maintains an emphasis on real-world
applications and examines the technical and practical issues related to the
use of semantic technologies in intelligent information management.
The book starts with an introduction to the fundamentals—reviewing
ontology basics, ontology languages, and research related to ontology
alignment, mediation, and mapping. Next, it covers ontology engineering
issues and presents a collaborative ontology engineering tool that is an
extension of the Semantic MediaWiki. Unveiling a novel approach to data
and knowledge engineering, the text:
• Introduces cutting-edge taxonomy-aware algorithms
• Examines semantics-based service composition in
transport logistics
• Offers ontology alignment tools that use information
visualization techniques
• Explains how to enrich the representation of entity
semantics in an ontology
• Addresses challenges in tackling the content creation bottleneck
Using case studies, the book provides authoritative insights and highlights
valuable lessons learned by the authors—information systems veterans
with decades of experience. They explain how to create social ontologies
and present examples of the application of semantic technologies in building
automation, logistics, ontology-driven business process intelligence,
decision making, and energy efciency in smart homes.
